I’m learning to enjoy watching dim run cities implode, and their citizens of all walks get snuffed. I have no more sympathy to give. Our new America!
Bet anyone the driver gets away free
It says he may have had a medical emergency! If that is what happened then it wasn’t premeditated or intentional! Why not wait and get the fact? Praying for all those involved! 🙏🙏🙏
A Truck killed two people… this makes me so angry the way they report these things.
It’s either a black driver or illegal immigrant.
